Sunset - gulls - Newhaven lighthouse & the Isle of Wight - 7.3.2016

The Isle of Wight is in a direct line of sight from Seaford. The only promontory before the island, after Castle Hill, Newhaven, is Selsey Bill, which is not high enough to be seen from sea-level. So the faint smudge on the horizon must be the Isle of Wight - a distance of about 55 miles.
